Weekly Update from Mrs. Pumphrey

As we enter the month of November, with our sights on Thanksgiving and the Winter Holiday, school seems at its busiest with learning and activities. I tell the children, one thing at a time, each thing to be enjoyed and savored. With tests, projects, and homework, please help your child with organization of dates and when things are due. We have a big calendar in our room, but it may be helpful to have a school calendar in some visible space like the kitchen, or mudroom, and help your child write down important dates.

Please read on for important information concerning our class.

Save the Date:
Nov. 4th: Wood Acres Open House

Nov.15th: Third grade Thanksgiving feast (Students & Teachers only)

Nov. 16th: 1:00 Dismissal. No Tree-house

Nov. 19th-Nov. 23rd: Thanksgiving Break. No School

Important Notes:
